• Method 2 of 2: Find out who registered the domain and registrar

Finding the person who registered the domain can be a simple or nearly impossible task. It all depends on whether this person agreed to register a personal domain name or not. According to the law, you cannot register a domain name using a fictitious address or phone number, although many do not want to expose their personal information to the public. In order to solve this problem, domain registrars often offer a special service for a fee that protects a person's personal information. Using this service, the registrar company indicates its contact information for the domain. If a domain name has this type of frequent registration, it will be much more difficult for you to find out exactly who registered the domain.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Finding Information About People Using Their Personal Information

1. 1 Go to the InterNIC website, in the Whois search section. There are many sites with similar names and services, but they do not provide the same service as Whois, so make sure you visit the correct site.
2. 2 Find the section with information about the domain.
3. 3 Enter the name of the domain you want to know about. Remember to set the switch to the "Domain" position. Click on the "Submit" button.
4. 4 Read the result. Here you will find out who registered the domain or the name of the registrar company.

Method 2 of 2: Find out who registered the domain and registrar

1. 1 Go to the domain registrar website. Most domain search engines will contain this information. On the "Whois" server, you will see this data as a result obtained in Step 3 above.
2. 2 Enter the domain name in the database search box. Make sure you received the correct registrar details, for this you may need to click on the link. Sometimes the database will take you to the desired page, but this depends on the format of the site. Make sure to select the correct extension. Most often it is .com, .org, or .edu.
3. 3 Enter captcha if necessary. This is usually a series of numbers or letters that you must enter to prove that you are a real person.
4. 4 Read the results. You will receive the name of the person who registered the domain or the name of the company that provided the private domain registration. Take a look at the specified email address. If the first part of the address (before the @ sign) is randomized as a series of letters and numbers, or if the domain name has a name like “domaindiscreet.com”, then it is most likely a private domain.
5. 5 Contact your registrar if you are still interested in obtaining the name and contact details of the person who registered the domain. You may be able to access the agreement and pay a certain amount to get the real name of the person who registered the domain with that registrar. If you are working on behalf of the police or the district attorney's office and have a legal right to information, you can request contact information based on a court order.
